Building Renovations 2015

Bloomberg Nursing is embarking on a facility renovation, focused on the 1st and 3rd floors, commencing in January 2015, and with an anticipated end date of July 2015. The renovation project will increase student study, activity and learning space, while increasing the Faculty’s capacity for multi-modal learning across simulation, virtual online and in-class platforms. Work will begin on the 3rd floor the week of January 19, 2015, and once completed, move to the 1st floor (late April/early May 2015). There are minor components of the project that may impact other floors in the building.

Computer Lab

Finding a quiet space to work on assignments can sometimes be challenging. The second floor at the Faculty of Nursing houses a computer lab, complete with desktops and printers, that students can access 24 hours a day. The lab provides the opportunity to get caught up on work, print assignments and take stock of upcoming projects.

Multimedia Room 270

The Faculty of Nursing takes learning and lectures to a new level with this multimedia classroom. Equipped with two flat screens for multiple viewing, teleconferencing and video, faculty have numerous communications resources to enhance the learning experience for students. Lectures are recorded so they are available for online viewing, a benefit to the virtual class environment in the Nurse Practitioner programs. In addition, guest speakers from around the world have been hosted, via webcast, to provide their insight and expertise to students and faculty.

Nursing Simulation Lab

Providing valuable hands-on experience in a controlled environment, the Nursing Simulation Lab (Sim Lab) is a state-of-the art facility. The ability to practice situations that could occur at a hospital ward, intensive care unit and/or isolation setting allows students to build their confidence and competence before using those skills in the field. Computerized adult and paediatric high-fidelity mannequins replicate actual patients and help students test their abilities either for the first time or as they re-certify existing skills.

The Sim Lab, Nursing Simulation Laboratory, at the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto (Canada) is a state‐of‐the‐art teaching facility. The physical design of the Sim Lab has been constructed to provide flexibility in meeting the teaching and learning needs of learners in a variety of contexts. Incorporated within the large 4000 square‐foot space of the lab are the following simulated care environments for health care delivery practice: an inpatient 12 bed ward and a large nursing station, a critical care unit with four patient beds, an isolation room (Bluma Appel Isolation Room) with an ante and exit room, a full operating room (OR), a one bed post‐anaesthesia care unit, a home care setting living space, and an interview or ambulatory clinic room.

Student Lounge

Designed as space for students to take a moment and pause during a hectic day, the student lounge is located on the main floor of the Faculty of Nursing in the Health Sciences Building. The spacious room has study amenities for students to complete assignments or host group meetings. Add a few extra touches, like a refrigerator and microwave, and the lounge is a welcome place to take a break.
